External Instrument
Accesses a dialog with settings that help you to establish the connection to the exter-
nal instruments, see Chapter 3.4.3.2, "External Instrument Configuration Settings",
on page 154.
Note:
Each external instrument must be connected via a LAN or USB to the R&S SMW.
In most test setups, all instruments must use a common reference frequency signal,
either from an external common reference source or using the distributed reference
frequency of the R&S SMW.
